In the land of Ankhana, Caine is the Blade of Tyshalle—unstoppable, feared, and unmatched in the art of killing. On Earth, he is Hari Michaelson, a superstar assassin whose violent exploits are broadcast to billions. Bound by a rigid caste system, he kills for the entertainment of a world that keeps him firmly in chains.
When his estranged wife, Pallas Rill, vanishes in Ankhana’s slums, Hari breaks every rule to find her. The search thrusts him into a deadly contest with the most ruthless rulers of two worlds, where betrayal waits behind every door.
In Heroes Die, Matthew Woodring Stover delivers a brutal, high-stakes fusion of epic fantasy and hard-hitting science fiction where survival demands skill, cunning, and a willingness to kill anyone who stands in the way.
